RMbrownresnick: Tail correlation function of the Brown-Resnick process

Description

RMbrownresnick defines the tail correlation function of the Brown-Resnick process. $$C(h) = 2 - 2\Phi(\sqrt{\gamma(h) / 2})$$ where $Phi$ is the standard normal distribution function.

Usage

RMbrownresnick(phi, var, scale, Aniso, proj);

Arguments

phi

variogram of class RMmodel.

var,scale,Aniso,proj

optional parameters; same meaning for any RMmodel. If not passed, the above covariance function remains unmodified.

Value

• object of class RMmodel

Details

For a given RMmodel the function RMbrownresnick(RMmodel()) 'returns' the tail correlation function of a Brown-Resnick process with variogram RMmodel.
